    Oct Weather Sevilla-salamanca

    Thanks Ivar! Before I embarked on my first Camino, nobody told me it would become such a passion, dare I say, addiction.

    New website for Grant Spangler

    Kiwi & Annie, Glad that you got good use from the Weather pages. I used them daily on my last Road trip. Many links indeed are inactive at the moment. Google gives you bad marks if you have lots of links to a 404 locale. The Maps page is not in place at the moment, but is coming soon. I have...

    Chinches en el Camino

    A phrase from my early youth was, "Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite". I never knew what bed bugs were. We didn't have those critters in any beds I ever slept in. Well, they have them on the Camino. Here is an article from the Diario Navarra. Diario Navarra, September 02...

    Water - what's drinkable?

    Water is fresh and cold at the public fountains at the beginning and the end of the Camino Frances. Mid-Meseta, the water quality may be questionable. There is actually a hand pump in Boadilla del Camino for the pilgrim consumption; water is only flowing there after you personally pump it. I...
